The Night from Old to New

Wheels turn in an interminable bend
A new start has come, even though it hasn’t been an end.

It’s another year, another chance
to start our lives anew.

This year we will leap old barriers
And have a real breakthrough.

So people all gather around and cheer
To celebrate and will that this year will be better.

Let us all wipe the slate clean
Tear down the reminder of the past.

We contemplate what brought us joy
Soon all scarred memories will depart.

It’s the night from old to new,
Let’s take one little step, and then one more.

The colors will be colorful
And then you’ll see shooting stars riding across the moon.

It’s 2009 people! So remember to write a 9 instead of an 8. *smirks* And I know how we always start the year with the strongest intention on fulfilling our New Year resolutions, so I am going to wish everyone good luck with their goals, stay healthy and less whiny. Pass the love around!

The Reason I Cried

Tears formed can be of any reason. People can cry for every reason. And when you do, a rush of emotion run through your body, as if it was channeled from your veins into your blood arteries and sent directly into your heart. The gush of tears, the heaving chest, the sudden eruption. Who hasn’t felt it before, who actually manage to avoid it at all?

You cry when you feel helpless, when you feel so torn inside, when you think everything is falling apart. Your heart is broken into pieces; your mind doesn’t seem to function. You let emotion wash you over. And that’s when your body takes charge. You cry. You let go.

Sometimes you let it flow quietly. Sometimes you’ve just got to sob. There are even times where you couldn’t control—you break down. You cry, you wail, you hide yourself under your blanket…or you just sit in a corner and bury your face in your hands. The slash made you feel, that poignant pain right there, inside you.

Yes, I do cry like that. I used to cry like this, as if it is the end of the world. But this time, no. It wasn’t painful, nor is it bleeding inside. This time, it is reconcilement. It rebuilds, it heals. I cry because of appreciation and gratitude. You made me understand. You made me realize it wasn’t the end of everything. You reminded me that I won the battle, so I shouldn’t lose to myself.

When it all happens I was so lost. I shut myself out. I build barriers so high that even blocked out the happiness that I deserved. I was afraid of failure. I was afraid of pain. I didn’t want to try again; I just didn’t want to bet. It was cowardice. I thought it will be better to hold on to all the chips I have in hand, rather than betting it all once. For it might double, or I will lose everything—again.

But you ensured me it won't. You relished the pain. You mended the broken heart. You taught me how is it to smile again. And then I learnt to feel the joy life can bring.

I cried. But I wasn’t sad. I was happy that I cried—for these tears shed made me realized:

“When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.”

What's Life All About

What is life all about? Now you must have come across some mushy and corny kind of writings where life is wonderful, its all sunshine rose and ice cream. Well, yes, it is when your life is under a warm sun, beside a rose garden and opposite of ice cream parlor. So under various circumstances, life won't be easy as you won't be able to fulfill all the above requirements.

No, please do not regard me as partially retarded or temporarily gone mad. It meant figuratively okay…though I quite agree that having an ice cream parlor right opposite is bliss. So what’s life all about?

Life—is about treachery. Oh yes, do not be too surprised. Take a look around and you will be able to recognize all the signs of tricks your mates and rivals set up for you. But first of all why do people choose to live in pretense but reality? It’s logical, really, simply because no one can survive if they don’t act. It is human nature to always try to compare themselves with others. But do not forget the key element—jealousy. Or rather, selfishness fits too. When people find out that others are better, they work to ‘upgrade’ themselves. It’s a known fact that upgrading yourself sometimes can be so tiring and cumbersome. And hence, because of human’s habit to deceit and cheat all the way to go for an easier route, they ‘downgrade’ other people instead of ‘upgrading’ themselves. To be simple, this act is defined as back stab.

Do not look down on these people. I refer them as, “smart ass”. They are smart because they used the easiest and the most effortless way to get what they want. And they are all asses because it was so unethical :P. And so when others seem worse, they’ll be in a better light.

When there is a positive, there must be a negative. As in, when there are smart asses, there will be dumb asses. They are separated into two leads. One, are those who got stabbed and still regard the stabber as friend. And two, are those who believe the stabbers. Believe it or not the world is a cycle. Everyone takes each role at least once. So don’t be too sad or too proud to be either one because either way you are still an ass. =P

Quote Captain Jack Sparrow, “To fight pirates you must first be a pirate.” I find this sentence so true. The only way to fight smart asses is to be another smart ass. This is the basic survival skills that God gave us. So when everyone around is cheating, there is no need to be a hypocrite to pretend to be all holy and noble. Therefore, this is the reason I generalize that life, is indeed about treachery.

So the moral of the story is, watch Pirates of Caribbean because Captain Jack Sparrow is always right.

Savvy?
